Supporting act bbno$ is good friends with Yung Gravy and a force in his own right. He offered exceptional artistry and did a fantastic job of getting things fired up.

One of Yung Gravy’s standout characteristics lies in his use of sampling. He masterfully incorporates samples from 1950s and 1960s pop, soul, and funk songs.  He then blends them seamlessly with modern hip-hop beats. Tracks like “Mr. Clean” and “1 Thot 2 Thot Red Thot Blue Thot” showcase this.  He has a knack for taking well-loved oldies and transforming them into catchy, modern anthems. This unique approach not only garners attention from younger audiences but also resonates with older listeners who appreciate the nostalgic elements.

Humor plays a significant role in Yung Gravy’s music. His lyrics often brim with playful and irreverent lines, demonstrating a keen sense of comedic timing. Whether he’s referencing pop culture or delivering clever punchlines, Yung Gravy’s humor adds a light-hearted and entertaining dimension to his tracks. This combination of humor and musicality creates a refreshing contrast to the more serious themes often explored in hip-hop.

Yung Gravy’s charisma extends beyond his music. His lively stage presence and engaging personality have made him a favorite on the live circuit. Fans flock to his concerts, drawn by his energetic performances and the promise of a good time. Yung Gravy’s ability to connect with his audience, both online and in person, solidifies his status as a rising star in the hip-hop community.
